SPAN 75.02 Creative Writing in Spanish
This course focuses on literary writing in Spanish and the construction and exploration of students’ creative voices. Students will learn to distinguish their personal voice based on the echo of prominent authors in Spanish and their creative processes. The literary work and exercises will be based on diverse traditions. Our way to perceive the world is one of the multiple paths to develop our own narrative and poetic perspective. We will read short stories and poems by authors from Latin America and Spain and will study their narrative and poetic techniques as expressive models. During the term students will work on the development of several pieces that will open three creative spaces: a diary (non-fiction), narrations (fiction) and poems that will reinforce student expressivity, imagination and creative talent in Spanish.
